At this casual Mexican spot tucked in an Autozone parking lot, the al pastor steals the show with crispy edges, fresh tortillas, and a stellar salsa bar.
"This roving taco stand now has a permanent location in Kent. At La Cuadra’s sit-down space, you can enjoy the same pineapple-y al pastor from 2pm-12am without having to go to places like a Rainier Beach Auto Zone lot. But we have a feeling the growing business will continue to randomly pop up up all over the area. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Kayla Sager-Riley
"The line forming around a tent in the Rainier Beach Auto Zone parking lot is not because there's a blowout sale on power steering fluid. Everyone is here for La Cuadra—specifically the paper-thin slices of chile-tinged al pastor coming off the spinning trompo. Order it in all forms available, like a huge burrito or cheesy mulita. But it’s mandatory to get a taco or two. Each one is a picturesque blend of tender fatty slices, extra crispy salty bits, and a garnish of thinly-sliced pineapple. And take advantage of the robust condiments bar that includes lots of smoky salsas." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
